About Me

Specialist in the "life and times" of the Australian modernist architect Arthur Baldwinson (1908-1969) who was active from 1937 to 1969 and his milieu. My RMIT dissertation argues that Baldwinson and a limited circle of NSW and Victorian architects began to shape an Australian "regional modernism" in the 1930s. This argument runs counter to the creation myths of the "Sydney School" of modernism. Active in DAAO website focussing on designer and designers. Currently compiling DAAO listing of designers, makers and serial manufacturers of Australian furniture.
